Mastering Visual Studio .NET provides the experienced programmer with all the information needed to get the most out of the latest development tool from Microsoft. It doesn't matter if you're an MFC, C++, STL, ATL, COM, Win32, Visual Basic, C#, HTML, XML, ASP.NET, database, web application, Web service, NT service, stand-alone client, or component programmer targeting Windows or one of the Windows variants (Windows CE or the PocketPC) - this book will help you master the toolkit. Written by experienced developers and trainers, the book begins with fundamental information about maximizing the power of Visual Studio .NET as it comes out of the box, including the following topics: projects and solutions; files and the various file editors; debugging; web projects; database projects; and setup projects. To experience the full spectrum of functionality and extensibility, Mastering Visual Studio .NET provides you with the practical depth and detail needed to best put these features to work. The second section of the book is about extending VS.NET to suit your specific needs and covers: integrating controls and components with VS.NET; the VS.N ET automation object model; macros and add-ins; custom wizards; and the Visual Studio Integration Program (VSIP).
